The Elder - The Mother Tree of Folklore - A Book By Chris Howkins

Part of a matching pair with Rowan, Tree of Protection, this title draws from material gathered from talks over the past few years and is presented in the themes specific to each tree, illustrated as usual.

This collection of the folklore does not aim to be at all complete but is based upon those traditions that are still remembered - the raw material has come from Surrey and Sussex, North East Hampshire, East Berkshire, South West Middlesex (Spelthorne) and South Buckinghamshire but of course the people of those counties have come from far and wide, bringing with them the traditions of other districts.

Thanks to them we can glimpse the world of the Mother Tree - the Eldar - but it is very important to remember that it is only a glimpse and that it is not as possible to recreate the full picture of this great tree.
